Creating a Volume on the Lightbits Storage Server
To create a volume on the cluster, log in to any of the Lightbits cluster servers and enter the lbcli create volume command.
Sample Command
lbcli create volume --size="200 Gib" --name=1vol --acl="acl3" --compression=true --replica-count=2 --project-name=defaultSample Output
